After Shannon answered a call, her spirits were lifted greatly. She couldnât believe Zachary had taken the initiative to look for her. After all, he had always kept his distance from her in the past.
Meanwhile, Xavier wasnât there yet, and the crow
âIs Xavier not coming?â
couldnât help talking about it.
âDidnât he promise to come? Why isnât he here yet? Heâs never gone back on his word before.â
âDidnât you hear the rumors? Heâs blind now, so itâs going to be embarrassing for him if he comes.â
âWhat? No way!â
Everyone was curious if he really was blind. If it were true, things would be interesting for them.
Then, Xavier finally entered the hall with Luther leading him. Everyone looked toward the entrance and saw a man in noble attire.
However, his once sharp gaze looked dull at that moment. They also noticed that he needed Luther to guide him into the hall. When he arrived, he didnât greet anyone.
Shannon approached him and said to Clifford, âDad, the doctors said Xav needs to rest more after he got into the accident. Now that youâve seen him, why donât we send him back to get some rest?â
When Clifford noticed that Xavier was really blind, he stopped making things hard for Shannon and Xavier,
Just as he was about to let him leave, Zayden said from the side, âShannon, itâs rare for Xav to join us. Since heâs already here, donât chase him back so soon.â
âThatâs right! We all want to have a chat with him.â
Everyone else said the same thing.
Shannon seemed upset as she looked toward Clifford. He stood up with the help of his walking cane and said, âLetâs have dinner and a prayer first. Iâm sure he can rest later. Shannon, come with me to the study.â
âAlright.â She knew he was about to scold her.
After she left, everyone dropped everything and started talking about Xavier in private. Meanwhile, Jeremiah quietly enjoyed his coffee nearby while coldly watching everything that was happening.
Zayden approached Xavier and said, âI never thought you would end up like this, Xav!â
When Xavier heard that, he looked cold. âWho are you?â
Zayden was stunned, and he thought Xavier just couldnât recognize him. âIâm Zayden! Canât you recognize my voice anymore?â
Xavier tried to search for that name in his mind and finally remembered that useless cousin of his. âI remember you now. The subsidiary company you were managing went bankrupt half a year ago. Is your new company up and running now?â
Zayden was stunned. Marlene hurriedly stepped forward and spoke for him. âXavier, I know youâre upset because you canât see anything now and that your rights at the company have been snatched away.

âBut you canât just vent on my husband. He wasnât the one who snatched your position. If you want to blame someone, you should look for that guy instead.â
She looked toward Jeremiah, who was having coffee alone.
Xavier didnât want to waste his breath on them, and he was ready to leave. Zayden stretched out his leg in front of everyone, wanting to trip Xavier and embarrass him.
âDad, what are you doing? Uncle Xav is going to fall if you do that.â Zayden heard someone speak up. When he noticed it was Malcolm, he was stunned.
Everyone else felt embarrassed for him. Meanwhile, Xavier realized what was going on and pulled back his leg.
Marlene immediately pulled Malcolm to the side and told him to play outside.
Then, Xavier asked Luther to find him a seat somewhere. The crowd started talking about him while shooting him glances of sympathy, mockery, and disdain.
Xavier clenched his fists unknowingly. He remembered everything that happened that day. He swore he would make these people pay for what they had done soon.
